The Black Forest ("Der Schwarzwald") in southwestern Germany is the residence of the Cuckoo Clock (Kuckucksuhr), invented within the region in the 17th century. The long, harsh winters in the Schwarzwald throughout that time meant people spent lengthy hours inside their homes, when they required both something to do to pass the time and an extra source of income to supplement their work inside the local mines. The largely forested region surrounding them inspired them to start creating wooden crafts. Amongst the goods they produced were nutcrackers ("Nussknackers"), incense burners ("Smoking Men" or R?ucherm?nner), and clocks that mimicked the cry of the cuckoo bird.
Domenico Martinelli an ordained preist (1669) was the author of a book on elementary clock which bore the title "Horologi Elementari". In this book Domenico advocates working with the call of the cuckoo to designate the hours. At that time the mechanics of a working cuckoo clock was already known, and any clockmaker who could also ready would realize that it was both practical and advantageous to have the cuckoo sound off the hours. Consequently cuckoo clocks began appearing in areas that had not previously been identified for their clock generating. It would be several more decades prior to Cuckoo Clocks began appearing inside the Black Forest.

At the end of the eighteenth century and up to the middle of the nineteenth century Cuckoo Clocks essentially consisted of a a flat wooden face with the workings of the clock attached behind the face. On top of the face of the clock was place a semi circular piece of wood which was adorned with stunning designs and which housed the cuckoo bird. Throughout the cold winter nights the clock makers would work making their beautiful highly decorated clocks. Inside the Spring the clocks had been then sold by door to door by clock peddlers who carried the Cuckoo Clocks by means of a rack which was carried on their backs. Whole families would work in their cottages generating the Cuckoo Clocks and each family members member had the expertise of generating certain pieces of the clock which was then assembled by but a different family member. Styles of Cuckoo Clocks: There are many styles of Cuckoo Clocks, the most familiar being the Swiss Chalet Style which evolved around the end of the nineteenth century. Probably the most basic sort of Cuckoo Clock is the 1 Day Cuckoo Clock which requirements to be wound 1 time each and every day. Next there's the Eight Day Cuckoo Clock which requirements to be wound only one time per week. Each of these clocks has a musical version together with the addition of a Swiss music box. Animated figures now are added for example a man sawing wood, men drinking beer and even a water wheel turning. Themes of the Cuckoo Clock include deer heads, dead and live animals, leaves and birds. Later versions now include a Quartz Cuckoo Clock which does not need to be wound and which has the recorded sound of an actual Cuckoo.

May possibly stories such as such as those for children have been written about Cuckoo Clocks and like the Cuckoo Clocks themselves they stay favorite to this day.
